class Reflect
The Reflect API is a way to manipulate values dynamically through an abstract interface in an untyped manner. Use with care.
Class Fields
static function callMethod(o:Dynamic, func:Function, args:Array<Dynamic>): Dynamic
Call a method with the given object and arguments.
static function compareMethods(f1:Dynamic, f2:Dynamic): Bool
Compares the functions f1
and f2
.
If f1
or f2
are not functions, the result is unspecified.
Otherwise the result is true if f1
and the f2
are physically equal,
false otherwise.
static function field(o:Dynamic, field:String): Dynamic
Returns the value of the field named field
on object o
.
If o
is not an object or has no field named field
, the result is
null.
If the field is defined as a property, its accessors are ignored. Refer
to Reflect.getProperty
for a function supporting property accessors.
If field
is null, the result is unspecified.
(As3) If used on a property field, the getter will be invoked. It is not possible to obtain the value directly.
static function fields(o:Dynamic): Array<String>
Returns the fields of structure o
.
This method is only guaranteed to work on anonymous structures. Refer to
Type.getInstanceFields
for a function supporting class instances.
If o
is null, the result is unspecified.
static function getProperty(o:Dynamic, field:String): Dynamic
Returns the value of the field named field
on object o
, taking
property getter functions into account.
If the field is not a property, this function behaves like
Reflect.field
, but might be slower.
If o
or field
are null, the result is unspecified.
static function hasField(o:Dynamic, field:String): Bool
Tells if structure o
has a field named field
.
This is only guaranteed to work for anonymous structures. Refer to
Type.getInstanceFields
for a function supporting class instances.
If o
or field
are null, the result is unspecified.
static function isFunction(f:Dynamic): Bool
Returns true if f
is a function, false otherwise.
If f
is null, the result is false.
static function isObject(v:Dynamic): Bool
Tells if v
is an object.
The result is true if v
is one of the following:
- class instance
- structure
- Class
- Enum
Otherwise, including if v
is null, the result is false.
static function makeVarArgs(f:Array<Dynamic> ->Dynamic): Dynamic
static function makeVarArgs(f:Array<Dynamic> ->Void): Dynamic
Transform a function taking an array of arguments into a function that can be called with any number of arguments.
static function setField(o:Dynamic, field:String, value:Dynamic): Void
Sets the field named field
of object o
to value value
.
If o
has no field named field
, this function is only guaranteed to
work for anonymous structures.
If o
or field
are null, the result is unspecified.
(As3) If used on a property field, the setter will be invoked. It is not possible to set the value directly.
static function setProperty(o:Dynamic, field:String, value:Dynamic): Void
Sets the field named field
of object o
to value value
, taking
property setter functions into account.
If the field is not a property, this function behaves like
Reflect.setField
, but might be slower.
If field
is null, the result is unspecified.
